Are There Fewer Teslas on the Roads Now or Only in Old Town Alexandria? Saw Only 3 in 2+ Hours

Am I the only one who doesn't know what a Tesla looks like? A few years ago,my DH would point them out on the highway. I was disinterested.

I’m currently in Southern CA and they are every other car on the road. Also, haven’t seen any of the “I bought this before I knew Elon was crazy/a Nazi” stickers like I see in the DC area.

You must be really bored. Reminds me of that game people play on road trips, looking for license plates from all 50 states.

facts are bored sometimes while intel never is

They are everywhere in my neighborhood. More common than a Honda or Toyota.

Not an Elon supporter but it's incredibly ironic to see liberals turn on what was once a great American 'green' energy success story/company.

Not every "liberal" is turning on Tesla. It's a company, not a man. Many people who own stock in Tesla (in fact 80%) are not Elon Musk.

Coz we want to see if a Elonless Tesla could still succeed

Because Elon's needlessly cruel treatment of federal employees, which continues to impact short and long-term services to the American population, has created lasting resentment. Remember that he stands to make a profit off his ties to Trump: preferential tariffs, lucrative government contracts, not to mention hoovering enormous quantities of valuable confidential data to outmaneuver competitors and enhance his Grok AI. Since he's inflicted entirely unnecessary harm on the country, people don't want to see his companies succeed. They want retribution for what are probably crimes.

Me again. To answer OP's question, no, I haven't seen fewer Teslas. People aren't rich enough to take a hit on their vehicles. But it doesn't mean they like Tesla, or Elon.

And taking a huge hit to do so. Not sure what that is "proving" as it’s only hurting them.

Its doing a lot. It's one of the reasons why Elon is backing off the government and trying to focus on his businesses

People selling used Teslas do not hurt Tesla at all. They already got paid for that car. Try again.

Sure it does, just maybe not immediately. An excess of used teslas means they will sell for cheaper. That will make new buyers think twice - both because they can get a used one cheap and because they may lose more money than other cars when they want to sell it later.

And, honestly, regardless of politics, I wouldn’t buy one now - I am a female who drives alone often. I am not trying to get into scuffles with people over a stupid car. I bet many people, even Trump supporters feel the same.

Female alone driver of Tesla here. Nobody has gotten into a scuffle with me. What kind of people attack a woman over her car? Believe it or not there are still many civil people around. Anyone who "scuffles" has a problem and it's not about me or my car.
